Read or Condemn Yourself to Death by Ignorance

For those courageous souls brave enough to look and see what is,

who are unwilling to blindly accept

the lies and rules of tyrannical authority.

The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie.

One word of truth outweighs a world of lies.

-----

If perchance a post of mine you think extreme

heed this from Kahlil Gibran:

“In battling evil, excess is good;

for he who is moderate in announcing the truth is presenting half-truth.

He conceals the other half out of fear of the people’s wrath.”

-----

One of my goals is to think and act as if I fear no man’s wrath or deed.


Observation And Integrity

Wednesday 27th December 2023


G’day,

Hope this finds you fit and well. I am on a social media site called Quora. This one allows you to post questions to which anyone can post an answer. Boxing Day someone posted, “What are some effective strategies to maintain mental health in a fast-paced world?”

Every life is a story, a biographical novel. Every day you write a page in a chapter. You do it by being an unskippered row boat, tossed on the waves of misfortune or by deciding your destination and setting your sails to attain it, ignoring distractions, overcoming obstacles and rekindling your purpose when required.

Off the top of my head, here are some bullet points to help you.

Recognise that you are an immortal, indestructible spiritual being, that nothing can hurt you unless you agree to allow it to hurt you. So don’t be so damned agreeable about being hurt!
Become disciplined about prioritizing on what you put your attention and towards what you devote effort.
Know and be working on your basic purpose.
Have a goal.
Follow the two rules for happy living.
Find things to admire and respect in all you meet.
Ignore your losses and remember your wins.
Every day, take a walk and look at things until you feel better. Most especially on days that have not gone according to plan.
Learn the Tone Scale so you can know who to trust and who will let you down and avoid disastrous relationships.
Don’t start things you don’t intend to complete and complete the things you start.
Be honest and truthful yet polite, faithful and sincere in all your dealings.
Don’t engage in arguments, nobody wins them. You’ll almost never change a man’s opinion by arguing with him.
Get a copy of the booklet The Way To Happiness. Read and apply it.

Honestly, I could write a chapter, if not a book, on each of those points but think on them, test them out in your life, learn to apply them and eventually you will be able to write your own chapter on each.

Western leaders should ’stop playing the fool’ – Putin

Western nations that expect Russia to collapse are misguided and should instead let their economies benefit from cooperation, President Vladimir Putin said at a government meeting on Thursday.

The US and its allies have targeted Russia with unprecedented sanctions in a bid to punish Moscow for the Ukraine conflict. The country has largely adapted to the pressure, according to the Russian government and Western analysis.

Putin raised the issue during a meeting of the Council on Strategic Development and National Projects, as he described Russia’s booming commercial ties with non-Western nations. He noted, however, that Moscow is not closing the door on the West.

“It’s time for them [Western leaders] to stop playing the fool and waiting for us to collapse. Everyone realizes by now that if they want to benefit from cooperation with Russia, they should do so,” the president said.

Western nations have a choice between following “ephemeral considerations” motivating them to seek Russia’s destruction and “the interests of their own nations and peoples,” which require cooperation based on a “new foundation of a multipolar world,” Putin stated.

Moscow has weathered Western economic attacks by reorienting its economy toward trade with countries that declined to join the Washington-led sanctions campaign, including Asian powerhouses China and India.

Russia has also taken measures to decrease reliance on Western-controlled financial institutions, switching to alternative payment methods and national currencies in commerce. During a visit to Beijing on Tuesday, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said the US dollar has almost fully been replaced in trade with China.

Meanwhile, EU nations have suffered a surge in energy prices after rejecting Russian supplies to supposedly reduce dependence and cut Moscow’s profits. In particular, Russian pipeline natural gas has been replaced with more expensive liquified natural gas (LNG), sourced from the US, Qatar, and other nations. Russia is also among Europe’s LNG suppliers and has made record deliveries, according to a report by Kommersant earlier this month.

Some factory owners in Germany, the leading European economy, have been forced to shut down due to increased operational costs. The Credit reform credit agency reported this month that it expects 18,100 German companies to file for insolvency this year, marking a 23.5% increase on 2022.

Vladimir Putin’s letter to the world
 
Vladimir Putin Address
 
 
 

Dear inhabitants of our beautiful planet Earth,

I, the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, decided to address all of you directly, bypassing diplomats, your leaders and journalists. In Russia, there is a so-called “Ural exchange”, where it is forbidden to lie, deceive and exaggerate.

Therefore, I will speak very honestly so that everyone will be convinced of the truth of my words.

Russia is a big and rich country, its most important value is more than 150 million people who live in a territory where justice is above all. We don’t need new territories.

We have energy and all other resources are abundant.

Since the time of the Great Tartar and the Great Mughals, the peoples of Northern Eurasia have not developed because of the onslaught of the Crusades and the colonization of America, Africa, India, or the drug addiction of China, but because of their hard work and pacifism.

Anyone who knows Russian understands that “Russian“ is an adjective that refers to all the peoples of our country. Russian Slavs, Russian Tatars, Russian Jews, Russian Evans, etc. All Russian at heart, even if their culture, language and way of life differ. We honor this diversity of unity.

The Russian people are once again forced to sacrifice their lives to protect the world from Nazism and fascism. We exchanged 50 of our prisoners of war for 50 Ukrainian soldiers. Ukrainian soldiers were treated in our hospitals, given three full meals a day and returned home.

We received Russian soldiers who had their fingers and genitals cut off. Not even the Nazis did that in the last war.

We will present this evidence in a future process.

Shame on everyone who supports these scumbags now.

Your leaders in the US, Europe, Japan, Australia and elsewhere have sided with these subhumans who put civilians, pregnant women and children above themselves in combat and deliberately want POWs. I can’t imagine any sane person supporting these monsters. * And your Bidens, Scholz, Macron and other dark democrats * not only protect criminals, but actively arm them, provide them with money that is not enough to lower prices in your countries. Prices are rising, the world is collapsing, but not because the Russians are cleansing Europe of Nazi evil spirits, but because you are silent and even support the new wave of Nazism. This time we will not go to Berlin, we will stop at our historical borders, and all the Nazi evil spirits that your leaders open the door to will give you a new “crystal“ life, as the Nazis did, adding circumcision of the reproductive organs to it.

I appeal to all who want to live and work in the world, raise children and socialize with people all over the world. Help Russia fight the new cancer - Ukrainian Nazism. Not Ukraine, where peaceful and hard working people live, but Nazism, fueled by your US taxes and NATO hawks. If your leaders support Nazism, push them over the edge, take power into your hands.

Ukrainian Nazis are protected from bullets by civilians, your rulers also decided to transfer the burden of high prices and future troubles to the population under the pretext of terrible Russia. In Ukraine, just like you, the Nazis live well behind the backs of ordinary citizens, and ordinary citizens have to suffer - these are the same crimes in Ukraine as in the West. We have not broken any of our promises and your leaders have stolen 300 billion dollars and Euros from the Russian people. They steal the property of our country’s citizens all over the world, you deliberately want our soldiers, ban the Russian language, attack the Church of God. I see that in countries where leaders are tightening sanctions against Russia, there is a growing awareness of what is happening and a wave of protests is spreading.

When A Pet Passes
 
When A Pet Passes
 
 
 

Pets, it turns out, also have last wishes before they die, but only known by veterinarians who put old and sick animals to sleep. Twitter user Jesse Dietrich asked a vet what was the most difficult part of his job.

The specialist answered without hesitation that it was the hardest for him to see how old or sick animals look for their owners with the eyes of their owners before going to sleep.

The fact is that 90% of owners don’t want to be in a room with a dying animal. People leave so that they don’t see their pet leave. But they don’t realize that it’s in these last moments of life that their pet needs them most. Veterinarians ask the owners to be close to the animals until the very end.

“It’s inevitable that they die before you. Don’t forget that you were the center of their life. Maybe they were just a part of you. But they are also your family. No matter how hard it is, don’t leave them.”

Don’t let them die in a room with a stranger in a place they don’t like. It is very painful for veterinarians to see how pets cannot find their owner during the last minutes of their life. They don’t understand why the owner left them. After all, they needed their owner’s consolation.

Veterinarians do everything possible to ensure that animals are not so scared, but they are completely strangers to them. Don’t be a coward because it’s too painful for you. Think about the pet. Endure this pain for the sake of their sake.

Be with them until the end.

(Tom: Done that with mine. Would not have it any other way.)

While the meme gives you a great summary, here is some more of the story, as I see it.

While there are external factors that influence our lives, we are substantially responsible for what we think, what we accept into our deliberations and on what we put our attention.

If you know your basic purpose in life and think of ways to align your activities with your basic purpose, producing products that are needed and wanted by others then you are far more likely to have a happy, productive, satisfying and successful life.

This I wish for you!

Putin Speaks On Ukraine
 
 
 

Worth while listening to the man himself rather than what others misinterpret from him.

He speaks the truth and makes perfect sense. The US Neocons had stated their intention to harm Russia. The intention to harm or destroy is part of the definition of insanity. What’s a responsible leader to do if the insane string pullers of another country want to destroy his? Roll over and let them? I don(t think so.

Until next time,
dream big dreams,
plan out how to achieve them,
be continually executing your plans,
enlist people to your causes,
travel and/or read widely, preferably both,
all the while observing what you observe
rather than thinking what you are told to think,
think well of your fellow man,
take time to help your fellow man,
he sorely needs it and it will help you too,
eat food that is good for your body,
exercise your body,
take time to destress,
and do the important things
that make a difference -
they are rarely the urgent ones!

Tom
